Olla, my name is Vlado and I'm from Slovenia. I got my first bird spider 4 years ago for my birthday. Unfortunately it was male and died last february, from that day on, something was missing in my home, so I decided to buy myself another one, today I got 15 tarantulas (1 female, all others are juvenile or sub-adults for which I'm not 100% sure of their sex). my collection is getting bigger on monthly basis and I hope to get some useful info on this forum.

Hey all

Greetings from South Africa

I supose this is a bit late, i've been posting all this time but have been rude not to introduce my self soooo hi then umm well i am a intermediate keeper and lover of T's i think they are fasinating creatures and should be preserved and looked after for future generations to see, so thanks for all the advice I've been getting so far! you guys are AWESOME.

 

[Terry D]

Hey y'all,

My name is Terry. I live in Nw La. I'm new to the list but have been in lurking mode for quite some time. My main interest here is t's but I like all insects, arachnids and most vertebrates with the exception of a very few indiv. H sapiens. I'd like to say thanks to all and that I've picked up alot of valuable info on this list thus far. I've got some experience with our local A. hentzei but am new to most tropical spp. I recently acquired slings of G. pulchra (2), B. boehmei (2), and 1 each of A. geniculata and and Nhandu tripepii. I've been keeping temps in the t area between high 70s low 80s, feeding frequently and they're doing exceptionally well. The boehmei, which arrived end of 1st week Nov., were around 1.5" to 1.75" when they first arrived and are now a mm or less shy of 3" and nearly 4 times bigger in terms of overall mass and weight. The pulchra arriving at same time went from .75 to over 2" and heavy for one and around 1.5 for the other. The genic and blonde are more recent acquisitions and are doing well but haven't grown much. Sorry for the length of the post and nice to finally meet all y'all. I'll post pics of the lil' ones in near future.

Hello People

Hello all my name is Adam I'am from Littleton, Colorado 20 years old. I find this site very useful and a good way to see photos of T's. My favorite thing about tarantulas is that there a hidden gem very little is known about them and very few people know about them. Also I love to study and learn about T's and with every T I learn about I hope that I can share it with people that love T's as much as I do.

My Collection so far:
Grammostola Rosea 0.1.0
Theraphosa Blondi 0.1.0
Poecilotheria Ornata 1.1.0

[leezard]

Hello, I'm Krystal. I'm a crazy little Canadian that seems to have too much time on her hands but in reality only adds more to her plate when she DOES get spare time.

Time? Wait. What is that, again?

I've been a member for awhile, now, but just haven't had time to sit down and go through the forums. I decided to make time, now, because procrastinating is something I've allowed myself to do this weekend....

I'm addicted to all kinds of things. My top two addictions seems to be a toss up between coffee and reptiles. It also seems I'm addicted to scratches, welts, paper cuts, plants, books and giving dirty looks to strangers.

While I love to blame Ollie for my recent addiction to inverts, Crazy joe is actually the one who REALLY got me started by giving me his Damon diadema, which my husband and I both sit and watch for what seems forever. That has been added to with 7 tarantulas of various sorts, a p. imperator and soon to be a trio of Tityus stigmurus. I am horrible with latin names, probably always will be and feel NO shame for this. I have a cheat sheet on my wall to tell me who is what, but I am completely content knowing that "THAT one is a spider" and "so is THAT one!" and they eat well and grow happily. Of course, I'm trying to know more, but I get distracted easily....

Oh look. Shiny.... what is it??

Ok , My name is Jason , im 35 , I own a local bonsai nursery here in central florida and also have a stake in a local pest control company as well. Went to school for entomogy, but ended up getting certification in horticulture . have my CPO's in Pest control , lawn and shrubs, termites, and aquatics. Was a master gardener, but havent done the preresqite 80 hours of comunity service so am currently out of date. I have been raising tarantulas since 1989, when I got my first rosey at a pet shop my sophmore year in high school since I was allergic to cats and dogs . Grew out of the allergy , but not the love of spiders. I worked in the reptile and arachnid area in a HUGE pet store in michigan for two years , then moved down to florida where the collection of spiders grew from 2 to about 15 till about 2006 when I got a divorce , when it promptly went to about 30 and has growing slowly to about 70 currently. I have had breeding attempts in the distant past , but the few I tried were either epic failures or their wasnt information on the spiders trying to breed. Now im working on doing it right as I havent tried to breed in over 13 years and just now have a few adult Brachys and grammastolas old enough for lovin. should be interesting. am also into classic cars . Have a 65 galaxie w a 4 speed , 428 CJ and a 3.5 rearend., and into the gym as I am quie the gym rat. Love alternative music and anything fringe. Im also in love with Jilly1337, as I am currently her #1 manion. I also have two wonderful kids that live with me full time and also are hardcore in love with spiders, although the only one who handles them is dad and my 16 yo girl who sneeks them out of their cages when im not around . trust me , sore subject. my son is 11 and loves to see the newly aquired Blondii of 8" eat roaches with agusto. Im also a gun nutt and enjoy shooting from time to time. and have been practicing Judo for over 12 years , although im slackin off this year due to time constraints and the fact that bruises take a lot longer to heal then 10 years ago.

 

[sharpfang]

Welcome everyone!.........This site is fun.........Jason ,32, male, in Cali

Wish I could go to Miami, Florida........Wife is in the Keys currently....said she saw a Day Gecko! Welcome Jilly + Manion.

Woah!!! There are really a lot of people who really likes inverts huh!:worship: Well hi guys!!! I’m Jeremy from Philippines. My friends call me Jermz. I’m 25 and I’m new with Inverts. Actually, I got interested with tarantulas and scorpions since I was young but my dad and mom just wouldn’t allow me to have one.

Technically, I still don’t have any inverts but scorps really interest me. I’ve been researching on scorps this past few months and I hope I’ll have one soon (maybe next month). I’m planning to get a Heterometrus longimanus to start with. I hope you guys could help me be a better collector/pet owner…
